Fortunately, different web browsers have various SEO plugins and extensions which can help to keep track of all your SEO endeavours, and Firefox is no exception.

Near each result, it shows page ranks and links, including .edu and .gov, age from Archive.org, how many pages are indexed, and works with Alexa, Whois, dmoz and others. Not only does it give you this data in a clean format, it also cites the source to allow for deeper analysis.

Another top Firefox Add-on for SEO is also by SEO Book called Rank Checker. Because it is open source, it offers professional quality data mining without the cost.

This extension not only allows you to see your site’s ranking in the major web browsers, but it also allows you to see your rank in international versions of Google. Other features include keyword presets and scheduled tasks, which will automatically show you rankings on certain keywords at certain times of the day, week or month.

You can also easily export the data for further analysis with a CSV file.

SEOQuake SEO Extension

SEOQuake SEO is the most popular SEO add-on found within the Firefox Add-on Manager because it pulls data from many different SEO facets and compiles it simply, allowing users to save the data for future use.

SEOQuake has two different parts – the SEObar, a toolbar which displays customizable SEO parameters for quick viewing of search engine rankings. Users can also set parameter presets which can be switched between at any time.

Like SEO for Firefox, some of the data available is page rank, number of pages indexed, number of links, etc.
